"Luis and his team did a great job replacing the old wooden boards on our ground level deck with Trex. They also inspected the support structure and replaced a couple of the joists as needed. Then they installed a vapor barrier under the deck and replaced our bench seat with Trex as well. Throughout the job Luis kept us well informed of their plans and when they expected to arrive on the job each day. All of the work was completed on time and with great attention to detail."

"From the very beginning it has been an absolute pleasure working with Russell! Honesty, integrity, professional, skilled, and a fair price for service are just a few of the things I can say about everyone involved. Every phone call has been returned in a timely fashion, ordering our materials was explained in great detail and was done so exactly as we were told. Russell has a real eye for the color combination, and we are so happy with the end results. The crew was very professional, on time, and courteous. We were very impressed with the attention to detail that everyone showed! Even details that could have easily been missed by us the homeowner. They worked hard to keep the job site clean as they worked and tidied up often. The crew arrived to do our job and returned daily until it was done. None of this bouncing around from job to job. As our project progressed and grew, Russell and crew were very accommodating to make sure we received the best work possible even changing a little of the game plan to do so along the way. We were WOWED at how they saw our front porch turning and decided to make it even better! They repaired our chimney that was much worse than we realized without gouging us on labor and materials. Then we asked to go ahead with our garage addition while they were here, once again, Russell was more than happy to do so making this entire project seamless!! None of this waiting for months for someone to return or not. I am so happy we chose Russell's Home Remodeling for our windows, siding and garage addition and can't wait for them to come back and build our sunroom!!"

"They repainted my shutters and hung up a few shutters that had fallen down. They painted two interior hallways and an interior stairway. They did a perfect job! I plan on hiring them again to do more painting around my house!"

"I would highly recommend Groovy Hues to anyone looking for high quality stain and paint services that wonâ t break the bank. The Groovy Hues team is professional and easy to work with. They did an exterior stain job on our large fence, and we were so pleased with the quality and price of the work, that we also hired Groovy Hues to paint our master bathroom. We look forward to using Groovy Hues again in the future!"

"The owner , Rebecca Conner, responded very quickly to discuss the scope of work. The bid for the deck work was emailed to me within a day or two of her visiting the house to discuss the scope of work. She was very helpful in suggesting stain and deck paint colors that look great.

Ray and Joe showed up when they said they would and always phoned when they could not make it due to bad weather. They were both courteous and professioinal. I was very impressed how conscientious they were in their work. They often said that "it has to be done right". It is difficult to find such dedicated people these days and I really appreciated them.

I highly recommend them.

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

A properly applied coat of stain will last between 3 and 8 years, depending on your climate. If you live in a place where your fence experiences a lot of moisture or high heat, your stain will last for a shorter period than in more temperate conditions. We recommend reapplying stain every 3 to 5 years to keep your wood in good condition.

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place. 

You can use latex or acrylic paint outdoors. Although acrylic paint tends to last longer outside, it also costs more, so if you’re painting the outside of your house, for instance, latex paint is often a go-to option. However, acrylic will be your best choice if you want to spend some extra money for added durability.

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.

Opt for an interior wood stain that is rated for your type of wood. Consider your personal style preferences as well as the overall use of the room when choosing a color. Remember, the color you see at the store may look different on your actual floors once applied. This is why if you have the chance, it’s helpful to test a few options on a scrap piece of wood in the room first. Once you narrow it down, you can test a small patch on an inconspicuous area in the room to see it on the actual floors.
